This  little  book  is  compiled  in  order  to  give 
tourists  and  pleasure-seekers  information  re- 
garding the  principal  points  of  interest  along 
the  line  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  rates, 
routes  of  excursion  tickets,  etc.,  in  a  condensed 
form.  For  more  detailed  information,  see  the 
tourist  book  for  1895,  "  Sketches  of  Wonder- 
land ;"  "The  Yellowstone  Park"  folder; 
"Alaska "  folder;  irrigation  pamphlet,  "The 
Yakima  Valley;"  "Natural  Game  Preserves 
of  North  America;"  and  other  publications. 

Wonderland  is  a  word  that  well  describes 
the  country  along  the  Northern  Pacific  between 
St.  Paul  and  Duluth,  and  Tacoma  and  Port- 
land. Prairies,  Plains,  Mountains,  Valleys, 
Rivers,  Lakes  flit  past  the  traveler  in  kaleido- 
scopic variety.  Change  succeeds  change,  until 
one  wonders  if  there  is  no  end  to  the  trans- 
formations. 


The  Lake  Park  Region. 

The  Minnesota  State  Geological  Survey,  a 
competent  authority  certainly,  asserts  that 
there  are  in  this  land  of  "sky-tinted  water  "— 
the  meaning  of  the  word  Minnesota  —  more 
than  10,000  lakes.  Does  it  happen  to  strike 
you  just  what  this  signifies,  not  merely  as  to 
the  large  number  of  lakes,  although  that  is 
phenomenal,  but  to  go  back  to  the  causes 
which  produced  such  a  state  of  things?  The 
presence  of  so  many  lakes  within,  compara- 
tively speaking,  so  limited  an  area,  usually 
means  the  former  presence  of  glaciers.  It 
means  that  the  region  in  which  the  now  glitter- 
ing and  peaceful  lakelet  is  found  was  once 
covered  with  a  vast  ice-field,  and  that  the  face 
of  nature  has  undergone  a  transformation 
scene  more  wonderful  than  the  ordinary  mind 
can  conceive.  This  is  precisely  the  case  here. 
Parts  of  Minnesota  and  the  Dakotas  were  once 
covered  with  one  of  the  greatest  glaciers  of 
ancient  times. 

Within  the  territory  now  included  in  two  or 
three  counties  in  Minnesota,  through  the  very 
heart  of  which  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad 
runs,  the  phenomena  resulting  from  this  glacial 
period  reached  their  highest  culmination,  and 
ergo  the  number  of  lakes  is  here  the  great- 
est, and  scenic  display  of  this  sort  found  its 
highest  perfection  in  the  Lake  Park  region. 

The  Lake  Park  country  thus  becomes  doubly 
interesting.  First,  from  its  innate  beauty; 
second,  from  the  causes  that  produced  it. 


LAKE  MINNEWASKA. 

Glenvvood,  Minn. 

This  beautiful  body  of  water  is  located  on 
the  Little  Falls  &  Dakota  Railroad  branch, 
reached  from  the  main  line  via  Little  Falls. 
It  is  12  miles  in  length,  4  miles  in  width,  and 
has  a  shore  line  of  about  40  miles.  Its  shores 
are  sandy,  with  a  pebbly  beach,  most  of  which 
are  lined  with  a  beautiful  border  of  timber. 
The  waters  are  cold  and  clear  as  crystal,  being 
fed  by  numerous  springs,  and  are  stocked  with 
all  the  varieties  of  game  fish  to  be  found  in 
the  Northern  lakes,  such  as  bass,  pike,  white- 
fish,  pickerel,  etc.  A  smooth  carriage  road 
runs  along  the  water's  edge,  affording  a 
delightful  pleasure  to  all  desiring  to  visit  the 
points  of  interest  near  by.  Numerous  pleasure 
boats  can  be  hired  at  small  cost.  The  hotel 
accommodations  are  good,  rates  being  $1.50  to 
$2  per  day  or  $8  to  $10  per  week. 

From  Wadena,  on  the  main  line  of  the 
Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  a  branch  line  runs 
southwestward  that  touches  this  region  near 
its  southern  rim.  The  traveler-  can  take  a 
sleeping  car  at  St  Paul  or  Minneapolis,  sleep 
all  night,  and  in  the  morning  stop  at  Clitheral, 
Battle  Lake  or  Fergus  Falls,  where  he  will 
find  scores  of  beautiful  lakes. 

LAKE   CLITHERAL. 

This  is  a  small  but  beautiful  lake  that  affords 
delightful  amusement  to  the  wielder  of  the  rod. 


Of  late  'years  this  lake  has  become  a  great 
favorite  with  fishermen.  Its  shores  are  pleas- 
antly wooded  in  some  places,  and  have  high, 
sloping,  grassy  banks  at  others.  Fine  stretches 
of  beach  gleam  in  the  sunlight,  and  the  drives 
about  the  country  are  full  of  interest  and 
romantic  delight. 

The  hotel  accommodations  are  good,  and 
the  trains  arrive  and  depart  at  convenient 
hours. 

BATTLE  LAKE. 

Situated  in  the  midst  of  the  famous  Lake 
Park  region  of  Minnesota,  on  the  Northern 
Pacific,  Fergus  &  Black  Hills  branch,  is  Battle 
Lake,  reached  from  the  main  line  via  Wadena. 
The  waters  are  well  stocked  with  whitefish, 
bass,  pike,  pickerel,  etc.,  and  afford  excellent 
sport  to  all  lovers  of  the  rod.  A  boathouse 
is  situated  on  the  shore  of  the  lake,  where 
good  boats,  bait,  etc.,  will  be  furnished 
visitors ;  also,  guides  when  desired. 

Within  a  radius  of  five  miles,  some  seven- 
teen lakes  can  be  plainly  seen.  Beautiful 
drives  lead  in  every  direction,  affording  an 
excellent  opportunity  to  view  this  lovely 
region. 

At  Battle  Lake  station  there  is  found  right 
at  hand  one  of  the  most  beautiful  lakes  of  the 
Lake  Park  region.  The  larger  Battle  Lake  — 
as  opposed  to  East  Battle  Lake  near  by  —  is 
about  six  miles  long  and  two  miles  in  width. 
Close  at  hand  are  Silver  and  Turtle  Lakes, 


and  a  half-dozen  others,  varying  in  character, 
while  a  little  farther  to  the  north  is  Otter  Tail 
Lake,  one  of  the  largest  lakes  in  Minnesota. 
Hotel  accommodations  at  Battle  Lake  are 
excellent,  and  the  fishing  and  sailing  unsur- 
passed. Many  pleasure-seekers  from  the 
South  visit  Battle  Lake  yearly. 


PERHAM. 

On  the  main  line  of  the  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad,  183  miles  west  from  St.  Paul,  is  the 
town  of  Perham.  Situated  in  the  midst  of  a 
fine  farming  and  attractive  scenic  region,  it  is 
also  the  centre  of  a  fine  fishing  country.  Near 
at  hand  are  Pine  and  Little  Pine  Lakes,  while 
farther  away  are  Lake  Sibyl,—  a  lovely  sheet 
of  water, — the  McDonald  Lakes,  Otter  Tail 
Lake, —  a  very  large  lake, —  Long  Lake,  Loon 
Lake,  Rush  Lake  and  others.  Comfortable 
farmhouses  are  found  at  most  of  these  lakes, 
so  that  accommodations  for  the  sportsman 
and  angler  may  readily  be  obtained.  Those 
who  are  willing  to  forego  the  hotel  life  at  such 
resorts  and  stop  at  farmhouses  convenient  to 
first-class  fishing  waters,  will  enjoy  the  fishing 
found  in  the  vicinity  of  Perham. 


DETROIT    LAKE. 

Detroit  Lake,  on  the  main  line  of  the  North- 
ern Pacific,  is  the  centre  of  a  notable  group  of 
waters  which  afford  some  of  the  finest  black- 
bass  fishing  in  the  Northwest.  These  lakes, 
numbering  fifteen  or  more,  a  re  all  located  with- 

5 


in  a  few  miles  of  each  other,  in  the  midst  of  a 
beautiful  country  where  gently  sloping  hills  and 
green  woods  greet  the  eye  on  every  hand. 

When  the  great  arctic  ice  cap  melted  away, 
it  left  scattered  through  the  Detroit  Lake 
region,  in  a  general  northerly  and  southerly 
direction,  many  glacial  accumulations.  A  most 
diversified  topography  is  the  result.  Rugged 
hills  from  50  to  350  feet  high,  roughly  bearded 
with  trees;  little  park-spots  verdant  and  invit- 
ing ;  long,  undulating  slopes  dappled  with  yel- 
low grain-fields  and  green  pastures;  wild,  sleepy 
hollows  with  tangled  underbrush  and  wood- 
bines; and  amid  it  all,  here,  there,  everywhere, 
flashing  into  the  sunlight  from  every  knoll, 
dotting  the  landscape  in  every  direction,  lie 
the  large,  silvery  lakes  and  sleeping  ponds. 
To  the  east,  the  Leaf  Hills,  tumultuous,  rugged, 
clothed  with  hardwood  timber,  and  moun- 
tainous in  character  for  this  prairie  country; 
to  the  west,  hills,  inde'ed,  still,  but  smoother, 
more  denuded  of  timber,  the  site  of  fertile 
fields  and  farmhouses,  with  here  and  there 
a  church  spire  pointing  its  long,  tapering 
finger  heavenward. 

Detroit  Lake,  a  lovely  body  of  water,  sur- 
rounded by  rugged  hills  or  low,  wooded  shores, 
is  one  of  a  chain  of  lakes  that  stretches 
southward.  Here  are  Muskrat,  Sally,  Melissa, 
Buck,  Little  Pelican,  Pelican,  Fish,  Lizzie, 
Crystal  and  Lida  Lakes.  In  size  these  lakes 
vary  from  one-fourth  mile  long  by  the  same 
distance  in  width,  for  the  two  smallest,  to  seven 


miles  long  by  two  miles  or  more  wide  for  Lake 
Lida,  the  largest. 

The  Pelican  River,  a  small  and  picturesque 
little  stream,  is  a  bond  of  union  down  to 
and  including  Lake  Lizzie.  Lizzie  and  Crystal 
Lakes  are  connected  by  another  channel,  and 
Lake  Lida,  the  largest  and  finest  of  them  all, 
is  connected  with  Lake  Lizzie  by  still  another. 
It  lies  so  close  to  Crystal,  however,  that  a 
small  portage  enables  the  tourist  to  soon  trans- 
fer his  canoe  or  rowboat  from  one  to  the  other. 

The  Detroit  Lakes  &  Pelican  Valley  Naviga- 
tion Co.  of  Detroit  have  spent  much  money  to 
afford  navigable  communication  between  these 
lakes.  The  Pelican  River  is  not  of  itself  navi- 
gable. Dredging  has  been  resorted  to,  and  thus 
far  Lakes  Detroit,  Muskrat,  Sally,  Melissa  and 
Bucks  Mills,  a  point  a  mile  or  two  below  the  lat- 
terlake,havebeenbroughtintocommunication. 
Between  Lakes  Muskrat  and  Sally,  a  regular 
canal  lock  was  necessary  owing  to  the  differ- 
ence in  level  between  the  lakes.  The  locking 
of  the  little  steamer  Lady  of  the  Lakes  through 
here  is  always  a  matter  of  great  interest  to  the 
passengers.  One  of  the  pleasant  features 
of  this  trip  is  the  ride  along  the  Pelican  River, 
with  its  banks  of  long  grass;  the  sharp  turns  of 
the  narrow  stream;  the  wooded  heights  back 
from  it,  and  the  rustic,  whitewashed  bridges 
under  which  the  steamer  passes. 

The  beautiful  grounds  between  Lakes  Sally 
and  Melissa  are  occupied  each  summer  by  a 
Chautauqua  Assembly.  This  is  rapidly  be- 


coming  an  important  gathering  to  North- 
western Chautauquans.  Fine  speakers  are 
in  attendance  and  a  rich  and  varied  program 
is  presented. 

In  addition  to  small  and  big  mouthed  bass, 
pike  and  other  varieties  of  fish  live  in  these 
waters  in  large  numbers.  In  the  hunting  sea- 
son pheasants,  prairie  chickens  and  multitudes 
of  ducks  attract  the  sportsman.  The  Hotel 
Minnesota  at  Detroit  contains  about  100  rooms, 
and  affords  excellent  accommodations  to  its 
patrons.  It  is  convenient  to  the  lake ;  is  1  ighted 
by  electricity  and  heated  by  steam.  Rates,  $2 
per  day;  per  week,  $  10  to  $14.  The  Fair- 
haven  House,  on  Lake  Sally,  is  capable  of 
caring  for  65  people.  The  accommodations 
are  good,  and  provision  is  made  for  the  needs 
ofsportsmen. 

LAKE    PARK. 

Still  upon  the  northern  border  of  this  most 
beautiful  Lake  Park  region  of  Minnesota 
is  the  beautiful  village  of  Lake  Park,  on  the 
main  line  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  30 
miles  east  of  Fargo.  It  is  on  the  divide,  1,300 
feet  above  the  sea,  and  between  the  waters 
running  north  to  Hudson's  Bay  and  those 
passing  east  to  the  Mississippi  River,  and  on 
the  outer  rim  of  the  Red  River  Valley,  where 
the  country  is  more  rolling,  diversified  and 
attractive,  like  that  of  the  Eastern  States, 
while  the  soil  possesses  all  the  elements  of 
fertility  which  pertain  to  that  nearer  to  the 

8 


river  itself.  A  few  rods  from  the  station  is 
Lake  Flora,  about  a  half  mile  in  diameter, 
surrounded  by  a  beautiful  grove  of  trees, 
between  which  and  the  lake  is  a  fine  carriage 
drive,  while  a  few  rods  farther  on.  at  the  outlet 
of  this  lake,  is  Lake  La  Belle,  about  two  miles 
long,  more  or  less  surrounded  with  woods, 
and  points  jutting  into  the  lake  forming  admir- 
able sites  for  cottages,  and  between  which  are 
beautiful  bays,  the  rendezvous  offish  and  fowl. 
South  a  few  miles  is  Lake  Cormorant,  with  a 
shoreline  of  about  40  miles,  with  many  other 
lakes  in  the  vicinity,  the  very  paradise  for 
fishing,  and  in  the  fall  for  hunting  wild  geese 
and  ducks  of  all  kinds,  and,  in  the  woods  sur- 
rounding, the  pheasant  and  partridge.  On  the 
prairies  are  chickens  in  abundance.  At  the 
hotel  is  a  livery  stable,  with  good  .horses, 
drivers  and  dogs  for  the  accommodation  of 
hunters. 

Passing  through  a  handsome  park,  100  feet 
from  the  passenger  station,  is  the  Lake  Park 
Hotel  (kept  by  James  A.  Bemis,  a  veteran 
hotel  man),  three  stories  high,  with  65  rooms, 
all  finely  furnished, —  large  sample-room  for 
commercial  travelers,  bathrooms,  large  dining- 
room,  and  every  accommodation  to  constitute 
a  first-class  hotel.  With  such  a  hotel,  unsur- 
passed on  the  line  of  this  railroad, —  with  Lake 
Flora  a  few  rods  away,  and  the  postoffice  and 
passenger  station  on  the  opposite  corner, — 
with  stores  of  all  kinds,  churches  and  schools, 
Lake  Park  affords  one  of  the  most  pleasant 


and  convenient  places  for  the  tourist  and 
sportsman,  or  for  families  from  the  cities  who 
desire  to  spend  a  few  weeks  in  the  country,  at 
reasonable  rates,  with  all  the  comforts  of  a 
home.

ALONG  THE  LINE. 


BRULE  RIVER  AND  PIKE  LAKE. 

At  the  crossing  of  the  Brule*  River  by  the 
Wisconsin  Division  of  the  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad,  36  miles  west  of  Ashland,  Wis.,  is 
found  some  of  the  finest  trout-fishing  in  the 
Northwest.  The  river  averages  about  100  feet 
in  width.  Its  waters  are  clear  and  cold,  with 
high  ground  on  either  side.  The  best  trout- 
fishing  on  the  river  commences  about  six  miles 
above  and  extends  eight  miles  below  the 
railroad  crossing,  in  this  distance  there  being  a 
number  of  small  rapids.  The  trout  in  this 
stream  reach  a  large  size,  catches  of  three 
and  four  pound  fish  being  very  common.  An 
ordinary  day's  fishing  on  the  river  is  150  fish 
for  two  rods.  There  is  a  good  hotel  at  Brule*, 
where  special  facilities  are  afforded  to  sports- 
men. 

Pike  Lake,  Wis.,  25  miles  west  of  Ashland, 
is  a  summer  resort.  The  lake  furnishes  very 
fine  bass,  pike  and  pickerel  fishing.  The  sur- 
rounding country  abounds  in  game  of  various 
kinds.  Good  hotel  accommodations. 


DEVILS  LAKE, 
rtinnewaukan,  North  Dakota. 

Minnewaukan,  N.  D.,  is  located  at  the  west 
end  of  Devils  Lake,  on  the  Jamestown  &  North- 
ern branch  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad. 

Devils  Lake,  North  Dakota's  inland  ocean, 
is  a  vast  body  of  salt  water,  closely  resembling 
the  ocean  both  in  appearance  and  taste.  It  is 
about  45  miles  in  length,  and  in  width  varying 
from  a  few  hundred  yards  to  7  miles.  The 
shores  of  the  lake  are  exceedingly  picturesque, 
extending  280  miles.  They  are  well  wooded, 
and,  sloping  gently  to  the  water,  present  many 
points  of  special  beauty.  Numerous  islands 
and  promontories  add  greatly  to  the  general 
effect.  The  air  is  dry  and  the  temperature 
equable. 

Fishing  and  hunting  at  Minnewaukan  is 
exceptionally  fine,  as  the  large  number  who 
have  visited  this  new  resort  of  the  North 
during  the  last  few  years  can  testify. 

Good  hotel  accommodations. 


ALL  RATES  QUOTED  and  arrangements  referred 
to  in  this  book  are  subject  to  change  or  cancellation 
without  further  notice  (interstate  rates  excepted),  as

PYRAMID  PARK. 

It  might  be  termed  the  land  ot  witchery,  for 
it  seems  as  if  witchcraft  must  have  produced 
so  unnatural  a  region.  Trees  where  there  are 
no  trees ;  animals  where  no  living  thing  is  seen  ; 
castles  and  ruined  cities  where  none  ever 

13 


lived  —  these  are  contradictions  that  seem 
inexplicable. 

The  trees,  however,  that  are  seen  where 
none  now  grow,  are  petri- 
fied ;  the  animals  are  fanci- 
ful, rock  animal  forms ;  the 
castles  and  cities,  the  effects 
of  erosion  upon  friable  and 
easily  washed  rocks  and 
clays. 

WATCH  DOG  ROCK.  Farther  back  in  this  weird 
land  are  genuine  trees,  large,  fat  herds,  and 
ranches  with  lovely  surroundings.  But  the 
railroad  traveler  sees  a  land  strange  and  new 
to  him,  where  colors  and  shapes  are  blended 
in  riotous  profusion,  a  land  almost  of  the 
imagination. 

Such  is  a  noted  region  of  North  Dakota,  and 
it  is  worthy  extended  investigation  by  those 
who  have  the  time. 

YELLOWSTONE  VALLEY. 

The  Northern  Pacific  Railroad  enters  the 
Yellowstone  Valley  at  Glendive,  Mont.  It 
follows  the  banks  of  the  beautiful,  rushing  river 
for  341  miles  to  Livingston.  In  this  distance 
the  river  is  crossed  three  times,  the  road  fol- 
lowing the  southern  bank  for  most  of  the  dis- 
tance. 

This  valley  is  a  fine  one,  full  of  picturesque 
views.  Rocky  bluffs  line  the  river,  afford- 
ing at  some  points  striking  and  bold  figurations ; 
gleaming  sand  banks  lie  shining  in  the  sun; 
groves  of  sturdy  trees  alternate  with  wide 

14 


patches  of  meadow  bottom  land;  the  low  cabin 
of  the  rancher  is  frequently  in  sight,  while 
many  thriving  towns  are  found. 

Back  of  the  bluffs  and  low  hills,  which  are 
ever  present,  on  the  wide  plains  roam  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  cattle  and  sheep  that  supply 
the  Eastern  markets  with  prime  beef  and 
mutton. 

Irrigation  has  recently  been  brought  to  bear 
in  the  cultivation  of  this  valley,  notably  near 
Miles  City  and  Billings.  It  is  destined  to  be  a 
great  factor  in  the  peopling  of  this  splendid 
valley,  Water  is  abundant,  both  from  the 
mighty  Yellowstone  itself  and  from  the  Pow- 
der, Tongue,  Rosebud  and  Big  Horn  Rivers 
and  many  minor  streams  that  flow  into  it. 
Vegetables,  grains,  small  fruits  and  flowers 
grow  in  great  perfection. 

Near  Big  Timber,  the  view  of  the  Crazy 
Mountains  to  the  north  is  one  of  the  finest 
sights  ever  seen  from  the  windows  of  a  train. 


CUSTER  BATTLEFIELD. 

From  Custer  Station,  Fort  Custerand  Custer 
Battlefield  are  reached.  At  the  latter  spot, 
on  a  ridge  overlooking  the  Little  Big  Horn 
River,  Custer  fought  his  last  battle,  and 
with  200  and  more  officers  and  men  of  the 
Seventh  United  States  Cavalry,  on  June  25, 
1876,  was  killed. 

This  battle,  often  wrongfully  termed  a  mas- 
sacre, was  the  most  severe  and  hardest  fought 
Indian  engagement  of  recent  years,  and 

is 


certainly  the  most  fatal  to  the  whites.  Custer 
had  about  600  men  with  him  all  told,  not  all, 
however,  under  his  immediate  control  during 
the  battle.  The  Indians  had  from  2,500  to 
3,000  in  the  fight,  directed  by  Gall,  Crazy 
Horse  and  other  noted  Indians,  the  leading 
spirit  being  Sitting  Bull,  their  great  Medicine 
Man.  These  three  chiefs  are  now  dead  — Gall, 
the  last  one,  having  recently  passed  on  to  the 
"happy  hunting  grounds.'*  Ouster's  command 
was  divided,  and,  while  he  and  his  immediate 
followers  lost  their  lives,  Reno  and  his  com- 
mand, by  intrenching  themselves,  held  out 
until  relief  came.  A  visit  to  this  spot  is  in- 
tensely interesting.  About  30  miles  up  the 
valley  from  the  railroad  is  Fort  Custer,  garri- 
soned by  United  States  troops,  and  some  10 
miles  beyond  is  the  Crow  Indian  Agency, which 
is  about  two  miles  from  the  battlefield. 
'  The  spot  where  Custer  and  his  men  died  is  a 
national  cemetery  now.  and  soldiers  formerly 
buried  in  other  parts  of  Wyoming  and  Mon- 
tana have  been  reinterred  there. 

Hotel  accommodations  can  be  obtained  at 
both  Fort  Custer  and  the  Crow  Agency. 

HUNTER'S  HOT  SPRINGS. 

These  springs  are  situated  at  the  foot  of  the 
Crazy  Mountains,  two  and  one-half  miles  from 
Springdale,  Mont.  Their  waters  are  remark- 
able for  the  amount  of  mineral  salts  held  in 
solution.  They  discharge  at  the  rate  of  2,000 
gallons  per  minute.  Their  temperature  ranges 
16 


from  148  to  168  degrees  Fahrenheit,  and  they 
are  well  known  as  containing  medicinal  prop- 
erties for  the  cure  of  rheumatism,  gout,  neu- 
ralgia and  all  blood  and  skin  diseases. 

Good  accommodations  are  afforded  guests, 
and  the  house  is  open  to  visitors  the  year 
round.  There  are  in  use  3  plunge  baths, 
14  by  18  feet,  16  tubs  and  3  vapor  baths,  which 
are  the  only  ones  known  where  the  vapor 
arises  entirely  by  natural  heat.  For  use  during 
the  summer  months  there  is  a  swimming  bath, 
105  by  105  feet. 

Round-trip  tickets  are  on  sale  during  the  en- 
tire year  at  the  eastern  terminals  of  the  North- 
ern Pacific  Railroad  to  Springdale,  at  rate  of 
$50.  These  tickets  are  limited  to  forty  days; 
good  going  thirty  days,  returning  ten  days. 

The  hunting  in  the  surrounding  mountains 
and  the  trout  fishing  in  the  Yellowstone  River 
are  unexcelled.  Rates  at  the  hotel  are  $ 3  per 
day,  $1S  Per  week,  or  $50  for  four  weeks. 
These  charges  include  the  use  of  baths.  Trans- 
fer from  Springdale  to  the  springs,  $i  for  the 
round  trip. 

THE  QALLATIN  VALLEY. 

This  is  another  of  the  great  valleys  traversed 
by  the  Northern  Pacific.  Hemmed  in  by 
lofty  mountains,  its  level  plains  are  industri- 
ously tilled,  and  bring  forth  harvests  in  abund- 
ance. It  is  a  fine  grain  country  and  irrigation 
serves  to  render  the  farmer  in  the  Gallatin 
Valley  independent  of  drought. 

17 


Historically  it  is  an  interesting  spot.  Here 
the  Madison, Jefferson  and  Gallatin  Rivers  come 
together  and  form  the  Missouri.  Here,  too, 
Lewis  and  Clark,  in  their  celebrated  expedition 
of  1804-6,  passed,  coming  up  the  Missouri  and 
following  the  Jefferson  into  the  mountains, 
which  they  crossed  on  their  way  to  the  Colum- 
bia River  and  the  coast. 

The  railroad  strikes  the  Missouri  right  where 
its  affluents  come  together  and  follows  it  in  its 
devious  windings  through  the  canon  for  many 
miles. 

FERRIS  HOT  SPRINGS. 

The  Ferris  Hot  Springs  are  located  in  the 
beautiful  Gallatin  Valley,  at  a  point  just  six 
miles  distant  from  the  city  of  Bozeman.  Visi- 
tors are  met  at  the  latter  point  by  vehicles 
which  quickly  take  them  to  the  springs.  The 
thermal  waters  of  these  springs  are,  according 
to  the  analysis  of  competent  chemists,  identi- 
cal with  those  of  the  more  famous  Carlsbad 
Springs  of  Germany.  A  comfortable  hotel 
has  lately  been  built  for  the  accommodation  of 
the  large  number  of  guests  who  seek  this  resort 
for  the  recognized  healing  qualities  of  its 
waters. 

Round-trip  excursion  tickets  are  on  sale  dur- 
ing the  entire  year  from  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis 
or  Duluth  to  Bozeman,  Mont.,  and  return,  at 
rate  of  $55.  Tickets  are  good  for  ninety  days; 
going  limit  forty  days,  return  forty  days.  Stop- 
overs are  allowed  within  these  limits.

WHITE  SULPHUR  SPRINGS. 

Lying  forty  miles  northeast  of  Townsend, 
Mont,  are  the  noted  White  Sulphur  Springs. 
The  waters  of  these  springs  have  proved  very 
efficacious  for  invalids,  as  many  can  testify, 
while  the  natural  beauty  of  the  surrounding 
country  is  sufficient  in  itself  to  attract  large 
numbers  to  this  spot  each  year.  The  hotel 
accommodations  are  excellent.  A  daily  line  of 
stages  runs  between  Townsend  and  the  springs. 


CROSSING  THE   ROCKIES. 

Three  times  does  the  train  climb  up  and 
down  before  it  succeeds  in  clearing  the  last  of 
this  great  range. 

Leaving  Livingston  the  first  ascent  is  begun. 
The  train  winds  through  a  rolling  country 
with  park-like  spots.  The  mountains  are 
tunneled  at  Bozeman  tunnel  at  an  eleva- 
tion of  5,565  feet,  and  then  the  train  glides 
down  grade  through  Rock  Canon.  It  is  well 
named.  At  some  places  the  rocks  are  prodi- 
gious in  size  and  of  most  interesting  contour. 
Through  the  mountains  the  road  winds,  reveal- 
ing new  and  stupendous  characters  at  each 
turn. 

The  second  crossing  of  the  range  begins  im- 
mediately after  leaving  Helena.  This  is  really 
the  ascent  of  the  principal  part  of  it,  although 
the  elevation  attained  at  the  Mullan  tunnel  is 
not  quite  so  great  as  at  the  Bozeman  tunnel, 
being  5,548  feet  above  the  sea. 

19 


The  scenery  is  entirely  different  from  that 
near  Livingston,  and  one  feels  more  as  if  the 
gigantic  range  of  which  he  has  read  and  heard 
so  much  was  really  before  and  round  about 
him. 

Across  the  summit,  the  train  is  rapidly 
carried  down  the  valley  of  the  Little  Blackfoot 
and  Hellgate  Rivers  to  the  foot  of  the  Bitter 
Root  Valley  at  Missoula,  leaving  which  the 
third  and  final  ascent  of  the  Rocky  Mountains 
is  made.  Again  the  coiling  about  the  moun- 
tain sides  in  the  effort  to  make  distance,  and  at 
last  the  pass,  the  Coriacan  defile,  is  gained  and 
the  Mission  range  of  the  Rockies  is  passed. 
The  road  then  descends  into  the  valley  of  the 
Jocko  River  and  traverses  the  southwestern 
portion  of  the  Flathead  Indian  Reservation. 
It  then  winds  along  the  banks  of  the  Clark 
Fork  of  the  Columbia,  a  picturesque  stream 
rolling  between  lofty  and  pine-clad  mountains. 


LAKE   PEND   D'OREILLE. 

Lake  Pend  d'Oreille  will  vie  with  pretty 
much  anything  in  the  category  of  lakes,  and 
far  surpasses  many  that  have  a  wider  reputa- 
tion. For  an  outing  season,  where  rest  and 
pleasure,  combined  with  sport,  for  the  funda- 
mental essentials,  and  garnished  with  splendid 
lake  and  mountain  scenery  and  a  rejuvenating 
air,  nothing  so  easily  reached  is  superior  to 
this  gem  of  a  place.  The  man  or  woman  in 
search  of  recreation  and  a  surcease  from  con- 
fining labor  or  household  cares,  can  do  no  bet' 

20 


ter  than  to  make  Hope  a  centre  of  operations, 
and  by  horse  and  boat  explore  the  shoreland 
beauties  of  bay  and  dell,  take  a  noonday  lunch 
and  siesta  on  one  of  the  rocky  islets  which  pop 
up  from  the  glassy  surface  of  the  lake,  climb 
about  among  the  hills  and  cliffs,  and  return 
laden  with  the  perfume  of  the  mountains. 

Length  of  lake,  55  miles;  3  to  12  miles 
wide;  shore  line,  about  250  miles;  elevation 
above  sea  level,  2,069  ^eet-  Country  surround- 
ing, mountainous  and  heavily  timbered.  Rail- 
road follows  the  north  shore  for  25  miles.  Game : 
Mule  deer,  white-tailed  deer,  elk,  caribou  and 
moose,  black  and  cinnamon  bear  and  moun- 
tain sheep.  Of  winged  game:  Geese,  ducks, 
and  partridges.  Fish:  Salmon  trout,  lake  trout, 
whitefish  and  squawfish.  There  is  also  excell- 
ent trout  fishing  in  the  numerous  streams  that 
flow  into  the  lake. 

The  hotel  is  located  so  as  to  afford  the  best 
possible  view  of  the  lake.  Sail  and  row  boats 
will  be  provided  at  reasonable  rates.  There 
are  several  small  steamers  running  on  the  lake 
which  will  land  passengers  at  any  point  desired, 
or  they  can  be  hired  by  the  day  at  reasonable 
rates. 

Tourists  will  be  able  to  secure,  at  any  season 
of  the  year,  hotel  accommodations  at  Hope, 
by  communicating  with  A.  D.  Charlton, 
Assistant  General  Passenger  Agent,  121  First 
Street,  Portland,  Ore.;  A.  Tinling,  General 
Agent,  625  Pacific  Avenue,  Tacoma,  Wash.; 
or  Chas.  S.  Fee,  General  Passenger  and  Ticket 
Agent,  St.  Paul,  Minn. 


LAKE  CCEUR  D'ALENE. 

Across  the  mountains,  south  of  Lake  Pend 
d'Oreille,  is  another  of  the  lakes  so  common  to 
this  mountain  region.  It  is  about  30  miles  long 
and  surrounded  by  hills  and  mountains.  It  can 
be  reached  either  from  Missoula  or  Spokane, 
via  the  Coeur  d'Alene  or  De  Smet  branch  lines. 
Steamers  and  rowboats  are  there  in  plenty, 
and  many  city  residents  have  house  boats  upon 
which  they  spend  the  warm  summer  months 
and  vacations  floating  about  the  lake. 


flEDICAL  LAKE,  WASH. 

This  truly  remarkable  body  of  water  is  situ- 
ated eight  miles  northwest  of  Cheney,  Wash. ,  on 
the  Central  Washington  branch  of  the  Northern 
Pacific  Railroad  in  Spokane  County,  on  an  ele- 
vated plateau,  and  surrounded  by  an  ever- 
green border  of  pine,  fir  and  tamarack  timber. 
Its  length  is  about  one  and  a  half  miles  by  a 
half  mile  in  width. 

From  a  time  far  beyond  the  knowledge  of  the 
oldest  inhabitants,  its  great  medicinal  proper- 
ties have  been  known  to  the  Indians  of  the 
North  Pacific  Coast.  It  has  always  been  held 
in  great  veneration  by  them.  Careful  analyti- 
cal tests  show  twelve  medicinal  properties  in 
its  waters,  and  many  thousands  bear  willing 
testimony  to  physical  benefits  received  from 
their  use.  Salt  is  obtained  by  evaporation  and 
shipped  to  all  sections  of  the  country,  and  a 
very  healthful  quality  of  soap  is  also  made  in 
large  quantities.  There  are  four  good  hotels, 


commodious  bathhouses,  splendid  drives, 
delightful  camping  places  and  an  abundance  of 
fish  in  the  other  lakes  in  the  immediate  vicinity. 
The  Eastern  Washington  Hospital  for  Insane, 
a  very  fine  building  416  feet  in  length,  is  situ- 
ated at  this  point. 

Round-trip  tickets  are  on  sale  during  the 
entire  year  from  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis  or 
Duluth  to  Medical  Lake  at  the  rate  of  $70. 
These  tickets  are  good,  going  and  returning, 
thirty  days;  final  limit,  ninety  days.  Stop-overs 
are  granted  within  limits. 

KOOTENAI  LAKE,   BRITISH  COLUflBIA. 

It  is  reached  from  Spokane  by  rail  and  steamer 
lines,  over  the  plains  and  through  the  forest 
and  mountain  regions  that  make  a  trip  in  the 
Northwest  so  full  of  interest.  The  Kootenai 
district  in  British  Columbia  is  rich  in  minerals 
and  other  resources,  that  are  now  attracting  a 
great  deal  of  attention,  and  the  mountain  spurs 
and  lakelets  of  clear,  crystal  water,  among  the 
mountains  about  Kootenai  Lake,  with  their 
inhabitants  of  fur-bearing  and  finny  tribes,  offer 
great  inducements  to  the  sportsman.  The 
upper  Kootenai  region  gives  birth  to  the  fa- 
mous Columbia  River. 

The  principal  points  on  Kootenai  Lake  are 
Nelson  at  the  end  of  the  west  arm  of  the  lake, 
Pilot  Bay,  Ainsworth  and  Kaslo.  The  Slocan 
country  north  of  Nelson  is  a  promising  mining 
region. 

This  region  is  reached  direct  from  Spokane 

23 


by  the  Spokane  Falls  &  Northern  Railroad, 
whose  northern  terminals  are  Nelson  and 
Kootenai,  where  connection  with  the  steamers 
on  the  lake  is  made. 

Excursion  tickets  are  on  sale  during  thesum. 
mer  season  at  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis  and  Duluth 
to  Nelson  and  Kaslo  and  return  at  $70  for  the 
round  trip.  Limit,  ninety  days;  transit  limits, 
forty  days  in  each  direction. 


THE  BIG  BEND  COUNTRY. 

West  of  Spokane,  the  Central  Washington 
branch  of  the  Northern  Pacific  extends  to 
Coulee  City,  and  the  country  penetrated  is  one 
of  the  most  remarkable  in  the  West. 

Long  ago  it  was  the  scene  of  extensive  vol- 
canic disturbance,  and  the  basaltic  monuments 
are  scattered  far  and  wide.  Two  extensive 
coulees  or  canons  wind  over  the  region,  with 
vertical  walls  of  basalt,  in  places  many  hun- 
dreds of  feet  in  height.  These  are  known  as 
the  Grand  Coulee  and  Moses  Coulee.  Basaltic 
ledges  and  domes,  some  of  them  very  striking 
or  picturesque,  dot  the  land. 

The  grayish  white  soil,  seemingly  of  an 
alkaline  nature,  appears  sterile  and  to  have 
little  depth.  The  absence  of  trees  and  the 
small  fragments  of  basaltic  ledges  scattered 
about  intensify  this  conclusion.  The  scarcity 
of  running  streams  simply  compels  such  belief. 

After  riding  for  a  few  miles  with  this  fact 
gradually  forced  upon  one,  he  is  startled,  upon 
rounding  a  curve  of  the  road,  to  find  at  one 

24 


side  one  of  the  finest  wheat  fields  he  ever  saw, 
and  on  the  opposite  side  the  same  dreary 
stretch  of  land  heretofore  seen.  He  wonders 
what  it  means.  Soon  the  phenomenon  is 
again  presented,  with  the  exception  that  in- 
stead of  a  grain  field  it  is  a  tremendous  potato 
patch.  Again,  from  an  elevated  piece  of  road 
he  will  obtain  a  view  of  an  entire  farm.  Hil- 
lock and  hollow  are  covered  with  luxuriant, 
yellow  fields  of  standing  grain.  Meadows 
fresh  and  green  are  in  effective  contrast  with 
the  golden  fields  on  one  side,  the  dull,  unbrok- 
en prairie  on  the  other.  A  comfortable  house 
surrounded  by  fields  of  vegetables,  and  with 
well  and  outbuildings,  completes  the  evidence 
that  the  land  is,  after  all,  of  some  account. 
By  the  time  one  has  ridden  over  this  region 
for  two  or  three  hundred  miles  he  will  con- 
clude that  it  is  the  old  story  of  the  singed 
cat  over  again — that  the  country  is  a  vast  deal 
better  than  it  looks.  This  feeling  is  specially 
enforced  by  the  wonderful  color  of  everything 
seen.  No  sickly,  uncertain  green,  but  grain, 
potatoes,  garden  truck  are  of  the  healthiest, 
deepest  green  imaginable. 

THE  PALOUSE  COUNTRY. 

South  of  Spokane,  between  the  main  line  of 
the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad  on  the  west,  the 
Spokane  &  Palouse  branch  line  on  the  east, 
and  the  Snake  River  on  the  south,  is  the  cele- 
brated Palouse  country. 

It  is  a  region  of  rolling,  hilly  prairie,  some 

25 


5o  x  loo  miles  in  extent,  and  watered  by  the 
Palouse  River  and  its  tributaries.  The  greater 
portion  of  this  tract  is  within  the  State  of 
Washington ;  some  of  it,  however,  extends 
across  the  line  into  Idaho. 

The  climate  is  as  agreeable  and  healthful* 
taking  the  year  round,  as  can  be  found  any- 
where in  the  United  States.  A  short  winter 
with  moderate  snowfall  is  followed  by  an  early 
spring,  beginning  usually  in  February.  In 
March  the  flowers  are  blooming  and  the  plows 
going.  There  are  usually  three  or  four  short 
hot  spells  in  summer,  but  the  nights  are  cool 
enough  to  make  blankets  requisite. 

The  Columbia  River  channel  furnishes  a 
trough  into  this  region,  up  which  sweep  the 
warm  and  moisture-laden  currents  from  the 
ocean.  Debouching  upon  the  plains  east  of 
the  Columbia,  these  vaporous  currents  spread 
themselves  over  a  vast  extent  of  country.  At 
night  condensation  takes  place,  and  a  fine 
mist  descends  upon  tree  and  shrub,  stalk  and 
leaf,  pasture  and  field,  furnishing  through  a 
copious  dew  the  moisture  necessary  to  produce 
the  great  crops.  Thus  it  is  that  with  no  rain 
to  speak  of  from  May  or  June  to  October,  and 
with  an  annual  rainfall  of  about  twenty  inches, 
the  soil  makes  such  returns  to  the  thrifty 
farmer.  The  general  elevation  of  the  region 
is  somewhat  less  than  2,000  feet  above  the  sea. 

LAKE  CHELAN,  WASH. 

Over  beyond  the  Big  Bend  country,  across 
the  Columbia  River,  is  Lake  Chelan.  It  is  a 

26 


wonderful  body  of  water,  wonderfully  placed. 
It  is  the  sort  of  lake  that  people  rhapsodize 
over.  Seventy  miles  long,  two  or  three  wide, 
over  i,  200  —  how  much  more  nobody  knows  — 
feet  deep;  this  is  its  "length,  breadth  and 
thickness. "  To  describe  it  is  quite  another 
matter.  Its  bluest  of  blue  water,  serpentine 
course,  the  tremendous  mountain  peaks, — the 
Cascades  on  one  side,  the  Methow  on  the 
other, — that  appear  to  lift  themselves  from  a 
blue  sea  below  to  a  blue  ocean  above,  must 
be  seen  to  know  them. 

Then  what  a  place  for  the  hunter!  Elk, 
bear,  deer,  mountain-sheep  are  all  easily 
tackled  by  the  agile  climber.  But  the  best  of 
it  is  the  fact  that  the  White  or  Rocky  Moun- 
tain goat  frequents  the  crags  and  precipices  of 
the  higher  altitudes.  Secure  in  these  cloud- 
land  defiles  and  sanctuaries,  he  bids  defiance 
to  pursuit,  tumbling  down  the  cliffs,  leaping 
from  crag  to  crag  when  danger  threatens.  Yet 
he  is  often  caught — try  your  hand  at  it. 
Reached  from  Coulee  City  on  the  Central 
Washington  branch  line. 

THE  YAKIMA  VALLEY. 

Extending  from  the  Columbia  River  to  the 
foot  of  the  Cascade  range,  lies  a  valley  watered 
by  a  river  that  is  destined  to  transform  the 
dreary,  desert-like  region  into  one  of  fruitful- 
ness,  wealth  and  beauty.  IRRIGATION  is  the 
magic  process  that  does  it,  and  already  much 
has  been  accomplished. 

27 


This  valley  offers  the  best  irrigation  propo- 
sition in  the  West.  The  soil  is  inexhaustible, 
of  great  fertility,  easily  worked;  the  supply  of 
water  in  the  Yakima  River  is  more  than 
abundant,  and  pure  and  fresh  from  the  moun- 
tains ;  the  markets  for  the  products,  which  are 
hops,  grain,  alfalfa,  vegetables,  fruits  and  dairy 
products,  are  the  cities  on  Puget  Sound,  the 
mining  regions  in  the  mountains,  and,  to  some 
extent  even  now,  the  cities  of  St.  Paul  and 
Minneapolis. 

The  climate  of  this  region  is  semi-tropical ; 
the  heat  of  summer  is  dry  and  not  oppressive, 
while  the  winters  are  tempered  by  the 
Chinook  wind,  that  sends  a  warm-air  current 
sweeping  over  the  Cascades  and  down  into 
the  valley.  In  time  it  will  become  a  great 
winter  resort,  especially  for  those  afflicted  by 
catarrhal  and  similar  troubles. 

A  large  part  of  the  productive  portion  of  the 
valley  is  not  visible  from  the  train.  The  im- 
portant centres  of  irrigation  are  Kennewick,  at 
the  foot  of  the  valley,  on  the  Columbia  River; 
Kiona,  Prosser,  where  there  is  a  fine  water 
power;  Toppenish,  the  railroad  station  from 
which  the  Sunnyside  country  is  reached ;  North 
Yakima,  a  centre  of  important  enterprises,  and 
Ellensburg,  nearer  the  foot  of  the  mountains, 
in  what  is  known  locally  as  the  Kittitas  Valley. 

Several  volcanic  ridges  traverse  the  Yakima 
Valley,  while  to  the  west  the  giant  Cascades 
rise.  One  of  the  scenic  features  is  Mt.  Adams, 
a  magnificent  peak,  always  covered  with  snow, 


and,  as  seen  from  the  valley,  is  a  great 
white  oval  dome.  This  grand  peak  is  first 
faintly  seen  from  near  Kiona,  and  is  then  seen 
from  the  right  side  of  the  train;  as  the  road 
turns  northward,  the  peak  appears  on  the 
other  side,  and  gradually  assumes  form  and 
definition,  developing  at  last  in  the  vicinity  of 
Toppenish  into  the  majestic  mountain  throne 
that  it  is.

The  Yellowstone  Park. 

It  is  now  generally  conceded  that  no  spot  in 
the  world,  of  the  same  size,  compares  with  this 
noted  resort  in  the  variety  and  wonder  of  its 
scenic  and  physical  phenomena. 
Lecturers  spend  much  time  and  money  to  fa- 
miliarize themselves 
with  it  so  that  they 
can  recount  to  their 
audiences  the  won- 
derful things  to  be 
seen  there.     Artists 
go  there  to  paint  and 
photograph  it.     Lit- 
erary men  and  news- 
paper  correspond- 


GOLDEN  GATE. 


ents  go  there  to  write 
about  it,  and  the  people,  the  ordinary  people, 
go  there  just  to  see  it. 

The  Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  in  its  yearly 
1 4  Wonderland "  book,  always  gives  a  long 
chapter  on  the  Park.  It  also  publishes  a 
Yellowstone  Park  folder  and  fine  map,  that 
gives  the  practical  and  detailed  information 
necessary  for  those  contemplating  a  trip  to  it. 
The  reader  is  therefore  referred  to  "  Sketches 
of  Wonderland, "  our  book  for  1895,  and  the 
Park  folder,  for  lengthy  descriptions  of  this 
pleasure  resort,  rates,  etc. 


For  the  year  1895  rates  have  been  greatly 
reduced,  and  facilities  for  the  rapid,  convenient 
and  satisfactory  handling  of  tourists  increased. 

Tourists,  either  singly  or  in  parties,  may 
now  go  to  Mammoth  Hot  Springs  and  there 
arrange  their  future  movements.  The  regular 
tourist  trip  requires  5^  days  in  the  Park  itself, 
and,  if  desired,  a  ticket  may  be  purchased  at 
Livingston,  where  the  Park  branch  line  leaves 
the  main  road,  that  includes  all  necessary 
traveling  expenses,  transportation,  hotel 
charges,  etc.,  through  the  Park  and  return. 

This  region  is  becoming  more  noted  each 
year  for  the  number  of  wild  animals  —  elk, 
deer,  antelope,  bear,  etc.— found  here,  wild 
yet  tame,  and  for  the  unequaled  trout-fishing 
found  in  the  lakes,  rivers,  brooks  and  streams 
generally.  Competent  authorities  state  that 
no  such  fishing  is  found  elsewhere. 


SEASON    OF    1895. 

JUNE    ist   TO    OCTOBER    ist. 

The  Yellowstone  National  Park,  embracing 
an  area  of  about  54  miles  in  width  from  east  to 
west,  and  62  miles  in  length  from  north  to 
south,  or  about  3,350  square  miles,  situated  in 
the  Rocky  Mountain  chain,  was  set  aside  by 
act  of  the  United  States  Congress  of  1872,  and 
devoted  in  perpetuity  to  the  use  and  pleasure 
of  the  people  as  a  National  Park.

flEDICAL  PROPERTIES  OF  THE   WATERS  OF 
THE  PARK. 

It  is  quite  likely  that  in  the  not  distant  future 
Yellowstone  National  Park  will  be  as  widely 
noted  for  the  medicinal  virtues  of  its  hot 
springs  as  it  is  now  known  for  varied  and  mag- 
nificent scenery.  Waters  from  its  varioussprings 
have  been  analyzed  with  great  care,  and  it  may 
be  stated  that  no  other  springs  in  the  United 
States  present  as  important  a  combination  of 
salts  in  solution  as  those  of  Yellowstone  Park. 

The  following  extracts  from  the  pen  of  Mr. 
Walter  H.  Weed  will  convey  an  idea  of  the 
most  important  properties  of  the  springs  in 
this  remarkable  region : 

"From  a  therapeutic  standpoint,  the  analysis 
of  hot  springs  waters  from  the  Yellowstone 
may  be  grouped  as  calcareous,  alkaline-sili- 
cious,  acid  and  sulphurous. 


40 


"The  former,  comprising  the  hot  water  of 
Mammoth  Hot  Springs,  are  highly  charged 
with  carbonate  of  lime,  which  they  deposit,  on 
exposure,  in  the  form  of  travertine.  They  re- 
semble in  composition  the  waters  of  Carlsbad, 
as  will  be  seen  by  a  comparison  of  the  analysis 
of  the  two  waters.  For  bathing  purposes  they 
are  less  agreeable,  and  probably  less  beneficial, 
than  the  alkaline  waters  of  the  Geyser  Basins. 

"These  latter  waters  are  generally  highly 
charged  with  alkaline  salts, — sodium  chloride 
and  sodium  carbonate,  together  with  silica,  be- 
ing the  chief  constituents;  but  there  is  usually- 
present  also  a  fejjaa^ — ....,;-—•  JB  small  amount 

ium arseniate,   |  I  the  latter  a 

ing  in  these  ISllHfflKBHH  waters  must 
be  indulged  ^  GOLDEN  GATE.  into  be  appre- 
ciated. The  extreme  softness  of  the  water, 
and  the  delightful  freshness  which  one  notices 
after  the  bath,  render  the  use  of  the  water  a 
great  pleasure.  In  New  Zealand,  where  a 
water  almost  identical  in  composition  (save 
that  it  lacks  the  arsenic)  has  been  used  for 
several  years,  this  type  of  water  has  been 
found  most  beneficial  in  the  treatment  of 
gout,  rheumatic  troubles  and  sciatica. 

"In  France  the  curative  properties  of  water 
carrying  arsenic  in  solution  are  fully  recognized, 
especially  for  the  cure  of  certain  forms  of  ner- 

41 


vous  and  skin  diseases.  While  the  Yellow- 
stone waters  contain  a  little  less  arsenic  than 
those  of  the  French  springs  at  La  Bourboule, 
there  is  no  reason  to  doubt  their  usefulness  for 
similiar  diseases. 

"The  acid  waters,  carrying  free  hydrochloric 
acid,  are  less  numerous  in  the  Park,  but  many 
springs  of  this  character  are  found  at  the  Norris 
Geyser  Basin.  Such  waters  have  achieved  a 
considerable  reputation  in  New  Zealand  as  a 
tonic  and  alterative,  particularly  in  diseases  of 
the  liver  and  in  functional  troubles  of  females. 
They  also  exert  a  powerful  effect  upon  the 
body  in  all  skin  diseases,  but  are  probably  less 
useful  than  the  sulphurous  waters  in  such  cases. 
Excellent  examples  of  the  latter  type  are  found 
at  the  Norris  Basin  and  elsewhere  in  the  Park." 

At  the  present  time  the  springs  are  used  for 
bathing  purposes  only  at  the  Fountain  Geyser 
Hotel,  Lower  Geyser  Basin. 

The  following  shows  the  value  placed  upon 
the  waters  by  physicians  familiar  with  them  : 

"MAMMOTH  HOT  SPRINGS,  Wvo., 

June  22,  1894. 

"The  Yellowstone  National  Park,  having  an 
average  elevation  of  about  8,000  feet,  an  inland 
mountain  climate,  mineral  springs  of  special 
value  for  medicinal  purposes,  and  pure  air 
ozonized  by  innumerable  coniferous  trees,  im- 
presses us  as  being  preeminently  suited  as  a 
site  for  a  great  sanitarium.  Its  mineral  waters, 
which  are  of  a  varied  chemical  composition,  are 
in  no  way  inferior  to  those  of  the  celebrated 

42 


European  baths  and  springs,  and  we  believe 
they  should  be  utilized  by  the  medical  profes- 
sion of  this  country,  especially  in  the  treatment 
of  the  diseases  for  which  such  waters  are  com- 
monly employed.

PUGET  SOUND. 

The  waters  and  cities  and  islands  of  the 
Sound  offer  a  wide  range  of  excursions  to 
travelers.  Steamers  of  various  sizes  ply  from 
Tacoma  and  Seattle  in  many  directions.  The 
expenses  of  these  trips  are  reasonable  and 
give  one  an  opportunity  to  visit  historic  and 
scenic  points  of  much  interest. 

The  waters  of  the  Sound  are  invariably 
smooth,  the  steamers  good,  and  the  scenery  is 
a  combination  of  water,  islands,  forests,  cities 
and  mountains. 

Small  launches  may  be  chartered  for  special 
excursions  to  Hood's  Canal,  a  winding  lane  of 
water  leading  from  the  Sound  to  the  south- 
ward; to  the  islands,  or  to  Port  Townsend  or 
Victoria,  if  desired.  Everett,  Anacortes,  Fair- 
haven  and  New  Whatcom  are  prominent  points 
on  the  Sound.

SNOQUALMIE  FALLS. 

From  Seattle,  a  little  side  trip  which  con- 
sumes one  day  is  a  visit  to  the  Snoqualmie 
Falls.  The  lover  of  waterfalls  will  find  here  a 
fall  nearly  twice  the  height  of  Niagara  —  280 
feet  is  the  plunge  of  Snoqualmie  —  with  all  the 
accessories  necessary  to  make  the  setting 
romantic  and  complete.  A  great  resort  for 
excursion  parties  is  this  romantic  spot.  The 
ride  from  Seattle  will  also  introduce  the  tourist 
to  some  extent  to  the  Pacific  Coast  forests. 
Magnificent  forests  they  are,  too.  The  trees 


of  the  East  are  pigmies  in  comparison  with 
these  grand  old  giants.  Snoqualmie  Falls 
is  one  of  our  finest  waterfalls.  Near  the 
falls  are  some  fine  Pacific  Coast  orchards  and 
the  largest  hop  ranch  in  the  world. 

HOUNTAIN   PEAKS  ON  THE  PACIFIC  COAST. 

One  striking  characteristic  of  the  North  Pacific 
Coast  is  its  magnificent  mountain  peaks.  The 
great  Cascades  as  a  range  are  not  meant,  but 
the  prodigious  peaks,  part  of  them  yet  stand- 
ing, in  some  cases  almost  aloof,  and  in  all 
cases  rising  like  gigantic  monuments  far  above 
the  main  range.  The  most  prominent  of  these 
is  Mt.  Rainier  or  Tacoma.  From  the  latitude 
of  Seattle  or  Tacoma,  as  one  sees  this  stupen- 
dous dome  rising  into  the  clouds,  it  savors  of 
the  supernatural.  Here  one  indeed  sees  a 
mountain,  not  a  tremendous  hill  as  so  many 
mountains  are  in  reality.  It  stands  alone, 
stretching  in  its  whitened  robe  to  illimitable 
heights  above  the  clouds,  toward  heaven  itself. 
A  grander  sight  can  hardly  be  imagined. 

Between  Tacoma  and  Portland  is  Mt.  St. 
Helens,  another  white  peak  of  noble  propor- 
tions and  grandeur.  On  a  clear  day  the 
traveler  can  view  this  fine  mountain  from  the 
car  windows  as  the  train  sweeps  onward. 
While  not  by  any  means  as  high  as  Rainier,  it 
-well  maintains  itself  as  one  of  our  finest 
peaks. 

From  Portland,  graceful  and  stately  Mt. 
Hood  breaks  the  eastern  horizon.  In  height, 

45 


midway  between  St.  Helens  and  Rainier,  it  is 
of  the  very  poetry  of  mountain  building,  sym- 
metric and  tapering. 

Well  up  toward  its  summit,  reached  by  a 
stage  line,  is  Cloud  Cap  Inn,  well  worth  a 
visit  from  the  enterprising  tourist. 

Far  to  the  north, 
close  to  the  Inter- 
national boundary 
line,  is  Mt.  Baker. 
This  is  another  of 
the  loftier  peaks, 
covered  with  gla- 
ciers and  snow  and 
of  grand  propor-

SIDE  EXCURSIONS  ON  THE  PACIFIC  COAST. 

From  Portland,  delightful  side  trips  are  those 
up  the  Columbia  River  to  the  Dalles,  and  up 
the  Willamette  River  to  Willamette  Falls. 
These  excursions  are  well  worth  the  taking  if 
the  tourist  has  the  time  for  them  at  his  dis- 
posal. The  lower  Columbia  is  one  of  the 

46 


largest  and  finest  rivers  in  the  United  States, 
and  abounds  in  very  fine  scenery.  The  roar 
and  dash  of  the  waters  at  the  Dalles,  where 
they  plunge  along  in  a  frenzy  of  madness, 
make  a  grand  picture. 

Perhaps  the  most  delightful  detour  of  several 
that  can  be  made  from  Portland  is  by  the 
Columbia  River  boats  to  Astoria,  and  thence 
to  Ilwaco.  At  Ilwaco  the  Narrow  Gauge 
Railway  is  taken  for  Sealand,  where  connec- 
tion is  made  by  boat  for  South  Bend,  the  chief 
town  on  Willapa  Harbor.  From  South  Bend 
the  tourist  takes  boat  for  North  Cove,  where 
connection  is  made  by  stage,  running  along 
the  ocean  beach,  to  a  point  near  Ocosta, 
on  Gray's  Harbor,  at  which  point  rail  con- 
nection is  made  for  Tacoma.  This  tour  is  a 
most  delightful  experience.  If  the  passenger 
on  arriving  at  South  Bend,  at  which  point 
there  is  an  excellent  hotel,  does  not  care  to 
prolong  his  trip,  he  can  take  the  train  on  the 
Northern  Pacific  from  there,  reaching  Tacoma 
via  this  branch  line.

to  designate  that  they  desire  to  return  via 
Portland  and  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad,  as 
tickets  cannot  be  exchanged  after  reaching  the 
Pacific  Coast.  At  Portland,  should  they  so 
desire,  they  can  take  the  side  trip  along  the 
Columbia  River  to  the  Dalles  and  return  at  a 
small  cost.  This  enables  every  one  to  see  the 
Columbia  River  scenery,  and  also  visit  the

cade Mountains. 

Free  side  trip  from  Tacoma  to  Seattle  and 
return  (either  via  rail  or  steamer)  will  be  given 
to  holders  of  San  Francisco  tickets,  reading  in 
either  direction  via  Northern  Pacific  Railroad.

first  Pacific  Coast  common  point;  return  any 
time  within  final  limit,  which  cannot  be  ex- 
tended. Stop-overs  granted  in  either  direction. 

JAPAN    AND    CHINA. 

In  the  near  future  Tacoma  will  be  noted  as 
being  the  initial  point  of  a  most  interesting 

50 


tourist  trip  to  Japan  and  China,  as  well  as  the 
trip  to  Alaska. 

The  Northern  Pacific  Steamship  Company 
operates  a  line  of  steamers  from  Tacoma  to 
Hong  Kong,  China,  and  Yokohama,  Japan,  as 
the  principal  ports.  These  steamers  embody 
the  usual  comforts  and  conveniences  of  ocean 
travel  and  make  the  trip  across  the  Pacific  a 
voyage  of  pleasure  and  comfort.  In  a  general 
way  the  steamers  leave  Tacoma  about  every 
twenty  days. 

To  those  seeking  for  new  experiences  in  this 
line  or  for  new  tours,  this  trip  to  China  and 
Japan  may  well  be  set  down  for  careful  investi- 
gation. The  Northern  Pacific  Railroad  Com- 
pany, through  its  General  Agents  in  all  the 
prominent  cities  will  furnish  all  information 
possible. 


ALASKA. 

THROUGH  THE  INLAND  PASSAGE. 

Alaska  is  a  land  of  unusual  romantic  interest, 
and  yet  it  is  remarkable  for  its  solid  resources 
and  the  vast  stores  of  wealth  that  simply  await 
the  touch  of  the  pioneer  and  capitalist  to  be 
unfolded  to  the  light.  A  trip  to  this  region  re- 
veals to  the  eye  the  grandest  and  most  har- 
monious blendings  imaginable  of  lights  and 
shadows,  mountains  and  valleys,  water,  ice  and 
sky.  Subjects  are  here  found  for  the  brush  of 
the  artist  or  the  pen  of  the  writer,  such  as  can- 
not be  duplicated  elsewhere. 

The  most  interesting  feature  of  the  Alaska 
trip  to  many  travelers  is  the  visit  to  Muir 
Glacier,  one  of  the  largest  masses  of  ice  yet 
discovered,  and  which  far  exceeds  in  size  any 
similar  body  of  ice  in  the  European  Alps.  The 
view  of  this  glacier,  with  its  frowning  back- 
ground of  mountains,  is  very  inspiring. 

Kate  Field  says  of  the  Muir  Glacier:  "  Im- 
agine Niagara  Falls  frozen  a  solid  wall  of  ice, 
300  feet  high,  moving  toward  the  ocean,  and  a 
similar  wall  600  or  700  feet  under  water, 
and  the  whole  mass  cracking  and  giving 
forth  peals  of  thunder  that  rival  the  heavenly 
artillery,  and  every  few  moments  thousands  of 
tons  of  lovely  blue  ice  crashing  into  the  sea  and 

5* 


starting  on  a  voyage  as  icebergs  —  a  peril  to 
the  Arctic  voyager  —  and  you  will  have  some 
slight  conception  of  this  imposing  spectacle." 


MUIR  GLACIER. 

Tourists  are  referred  to  the  Alaska  folder, 
published  by  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad 
(distributed  free)  for  a  description  of  this  re- 
markable country,  by  Prof.  John  Muir. 

It  has  only  been  possible  of  late  years  to 
make  the  Alaska  trip,  but  the  tour  has  so 
quickly  grown  into  popular  favor  that  two 
steamers  are  now  required  to  properly  care  for 
this  travel. 

The  steamer  "  Queen  "  will  be  devoted  ex- 
clusively to  excursion  traffic.  She  is  a  large 
and  fine  steamer  (3,000  tons),  340  feet  long, 
equipped  with  all  modern  improvements  and 
appliances,  and  has  accommodations  for  250 

53 


passengers.  This  boat  will  start  from  Tacoma, 
calling  at  Seattle,  Port  Townsend,  Victoria,  Ft. 
Wrangell,  Juneau,  Muir  Glacier,  Sitka,  etc., 
and  will  occupy  about  twelve  days  in  making 
the  round  trip. 

The  steamer  "City  of  Topeka  "  will  start 
from  Tacoma,  calling  at  Seattle,  Port  Towns- 
end,  Victoria,  Ft.  Wrangell,  Juneau,  Muir 
Glacier,  Sitka,  etc.  This  steamer  will  occupy 
about  twelve  days  north  of  Tacoma.

office  of  the  General  Passenger  and  Ticket 
Agent  of  the  Northern  Pacific  at  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  also  with  all  Northern  Pacific  General 
and  District  Passenger  Agents. 


HUNTING  AND  FISHING. 

Nowhere  in  this  country  is  there  finer  hunt- 
ing and  fishing  than  is  afforded  in  the  region 
traversed  by  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad. 
The  prairies  and  thousands  of  lakes  in  Wis- 
consin and  Minnesota ;  the  uplands  of  North 
Dakota;  the  plains  and  streams  of  Montana; 

55 


the  mountains  of  Montana  and  Idaho,  and  the 
forest  and  mountain  country  of  Washington 
and  Oregon  offer  a  region  of  unsurpassed 
excellence  for  small  and  large  game  hunting, 
and  trout,  bass,  pike  and  pickerel,  etc.,  fishing. 

The  Northern  Pacific  publishes  an  illustrated 
book  entitled  "The  Natural  Game  Preserves 
of  North  America,"  which  is  devoted  entirely 
to  the  hunting  and  fishing  in  Northern  Pacific 
country.  The  habitat  of  different  species  of 
game  and  fish,  places  for  outfitting,  laws  of  the 
states  regarding  shooting  and  angling,  and 
many  items  of  interest  and  information  regard- 
ing this  subject  are  presented  in  great  detail. 
The  reader  is  referred  to  this  publication  for  de- 
tailed information.  It  will  be  forwarded  to  any 
address  upon  receipt  of  four  cents  in  stamps. 

In  general  it  may  be  said  that  the  railroad 
has  heartily  co-operated  with  the  various  state 
authorities  to  prevent  the  useless  and  merce- 
nary slaughter  of  animals  and  the  seining  of 
the  lakes  and  streams  and  consequent  destruc- 
tion of  the  fishing  preserves.  The  legal  enact- 
ments become  yearly  more  severe,  and  it  is 
believed  that  this  fact  will  result  in  retaining 
to  future  generations  the  great  game  and  fish 
preserves  of  the  Northwest.  Deer,  antelope, 
elk,  bear,  mountain  sheep,  mountain  goats, 
rabbits,  prairie  chickens,  grouse,  ducks,  geese, 
etc.,  etc.,  are  yet  found  in  many  localities. 
All  the  lakes  in  Minnesota  abound  in  fish,  the 
streams  in  Wisconsin,  Montana,  Idaho  and 
Washington  in  trout,  and  the  Puget  Sound 

56 


and  Columbia  River  regions  afford  fine  salmon 
and  sea-bass  fishing.  The  trout  fishing  in 
Yellowstone  Park  is  the  finest  in  the  world 
and  the  tourist  is  allowed  to  catch  what  he 
pleases,  but  cannot  carry  any  of  them  outside 
the  Park  boundaries. 


SPECIAL  CAR  FOR   PRIVATE  EXCURSIONS. 

The  attention  of  excursionists,  hunting  and 
fishing  parties,  and  all  others  desiring  the  use 
of  a  private  car  is  called  to  the  fact  that  the 
Northern  Pacific  Railroad  have  a  special  ex- 
cursion car  designed  especially  for  parties  of 
the  above  nature,  which  they  are  prepared  to 
rent  at  very  reasonable  figures. 

This  car  is  built  after  the  plan  of  the  ordinary 
Pullman  Sleepers,  being  equipped  with  the 
Miller  Platform  and  Coupler  and  Westinghouse 
Automatic  Air  Brake,  and  contains  drawing- 
room, berths,  saloons  (ladies'  and  gentlemen's), 
desks,  kitchen,  and  in  fact  all  the  conveniences 
of  a  hotel  car,  as  per  diagram  on  next  page. 
'  If  desired,  this  car  will  be  provisioned,  and 
cook,  porter  and  waiter  furnished  at  actual 
cost. 

For  transportation  of  special  car,  and  a 
party  of  fifteen  persons  or  less,  fifteen  full  first- 
class  tickets  (regular  or  excursion)  will  be  re- 
quired; for  more  than  fifteen,  one  ticket  each. 

For  rates  and  detailed  information  call  on  or 
address  Charles  S.  Fee,  General  Passenger  and 
Ticket  Agent,  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  or  any  General 
or  District  Passenger  Agent.

Dogs  must  be  carried  only  in  the  baggage

made  to  junction  points  only,  and  branch  line 
baggageman  will  make  proper  charge  for  his

Berths  for  single  nights  can  be  secured  at

sold  from  terminal  points,  passengers  take 
their  own  chances  of  finding  sleeping  car  ac- 
commodations for  single  nights  between  local 
stations.
